Death Bounce???
Took it apart today.
Passenger side upper ball joint and wheel bearing had some play. Lower seemed OK. As far as I know they were all original, 223,000 miles!!! Driver side joints and bearing replaced a couple years ago and still seem to be fine so I am leaving them as I put few miles on the truck at this point.
Buying new joints and hub for the passenger side. Hope to get everything installed tomorrow and take it for a test drive. Will report back.

Finished the job Sunday night. Took it for 2 short rides since then.
Seems good. Hope this helps someone diagnose their own death wobble. If it is not fixed... I will report back.
